Dear Yeti,
Kindly circulate this advertisement for an open PhD position in Copenhagen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear all,
*Call for a potential candidate for a 3-year “ErhvervsPhD”-scholarship at
the University of Copenhagen, Institute of macro-ecology, evolution and
climate, in co-operation with the Danish Pelagic Producer Organization
(DPPO), in the framework of the MSE-project.*
The specific formulation of the “ErhvervsPhD” application for
Innovationsfonden, will be worked out in a three month period by the
applicant in cooperation with Katherine Richardson, Henrik Sparholt and
Claus R. Sparrevohn (DPPO) and the applicant will be employed by DPPO in
this period at the DPPO office in central Copenhagen.
The PhD will consist of research of population dynamic models of
commercially important fish stocks in the Northeast Atlantic. The models
should be formulated in terms of the so-called Management Strategy
Evaluation models, which can used directly by the science advising the
politician and the public about fisheries management. It will incorporate
climate changes, evolutionary determined life history parameters, and
ecosystem functioning. It will be linked to the MSE project in the first
two years and when the MSE project ends, it will continue to be linked to
UoC. Supervisors will be Katherine Richardson, UoC, supported by Henrik
Sparholt UoC and Claus R. Sparrevohn, DPPO.
The MSE-project (www.mseproject.org) is a 2-year project ending in 2022. It
is about development of Management Strategy Evaluations (MSEs) based on the
Fmsy values obtained from the Fmsy-project (www.fmsyproject.net) for six
high profile fish stocks. Climate changes, evolutionary aspect of fish
growth, reproduction and survival, and ecosystem functioning are central
parts of how well fisheries management approaches are working. The outcome
of the MSE- project is expected to be used directly in the future
management of these six fish stocks as well as having an influence on the
future management of other fish stocks in the northern hemisphere.
Well-managed fisheries are relevant for as many as 10 of the 17 United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 (FAO, 2018).
The MSE-project will fund half of the PhD and DPPO the other half –
probably with the support of Innovationsfonden.
Needed qualifications:
· an MSc in population biology or related topic.
· an interest in climate changes, evolution, ecosystem functioning
and scientific advice on fisheries management.
· skillful with numbers and R-programming.
If interested, please contact the MSE-project leader Henrik Sparholt (
henrik.sparholt@xxxxxxxxx) or Claus R. Sparrevohn (crs@xxxxxxxxxxx).
